So now that my best friend is back in Maine where she belongs, we took a few days off to do some things we hadn't done in a while. This was her first trip back to South Branch Pond in about 8 years, so we took a hike up Howe Brook to the falls. I think we missed peak foliage time by about a week, but that's always the case for me. lol The leaves were still bright in color, though, and we got some nice pictures. The hike is about 6 miles round trip - 2.5 miles to the lower pools and falls, and 6 miles round trip to the upper falls. If you have kids with you, then I recommend only going to the lower falls because when you get above them the terrain gets a bit more rugged. Hope you guys like the pictures!
